Gee and I was under the impression reading was about being open minded and willing to engage in the thoughtful discourse with the author and other readers.

Yeah, it's my opinion that some of Heinlein's writing is unconscionable, but I have distinct reasons for that opinion.
So you do. Whether they're valid is another matter.


Indeed, your long discourse is valid opinion, but mine is not. I get that... com. plete. ly. Way to engage in discourse!

I am happy to discuss Heinlein's work, as proof by this thread I obviously have the dissenting opinion. But, really, this whole "opinion" thing is silly. It's merely an attempt to elevate your opinion above someone elses, and it's the poorest form of debate. Let your argument stand on its merits, don't attack the idea that we are expressing opinion.
